FootJoy is an American company that's been around since the 1850s. It originally made its FootJoy golf shoes in England that included the ever-classic saddle shoes. Today, it outsources its manufacturing to Asia and Mexico.

FootJoy is the undisputed #1 shoe in golf, an iconic golf brand with more than 100 years of shoemaking excellence and leadership positions in every major market around the world.

A little history: In 1923, the Field & Flint Company first introduced a line of shoes. The name and the brand were born from a company-wide naming competition where a female associate in the Brockton, Mass., stitching room submitted a name for the new shoes: FootJoy.

FootJoy is owned by publicly traded Acushnet . A representative for Acushnet didn't immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment. The footwear flap moved investors slightly, too. Acushnet shares closed more than 2.5% higher, while Nike shares climbed less than 1%.

Leather is by far the most popular choice for golf shoes across the market and rightfully so. The leather is processed and then added to the exterior of the shoe creating a stretch-free, tight-fitting waterproof shoe.
